<\/p>\n

The Spokesperson of Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, has insisted that the Office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has been stripped of many of its duties.<\/p>\n

Odumakin maintained that there has been \u201cserial assaults\u201d on Osinbajo\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s decision to sign a new bill on offshore oil fields in London.<\/p>\n

Buhari\u2019s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari had traveled to London on Monday with the bill for the President\u2019s assent.<\/p>\n

The development had sparked controversy and speculations that Osinbajo has been sidelined.<\/p>\n

However, the Afenifere\u2019s spokesperson while featuring on Channels Television\u2019s Programme, Politics Today said: \u201cThere have been serial assaults on that office for a long time now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince after Osinbajo sacked Daura, there has never been any data transmission to the National Assembly whenever the president is travelling out of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside that, we have seen that most of the functions given to his office have been stripped.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of them have been taken to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can say that most of those functions are at the discretion of the president but the question of the President\u2019s transmission of power to the Vice President when he is leaving the country, is a constitutional matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe constitution says that when the President is going out of the country, he shall write to the National Assembly, transmit to the Vice and when he comes back, he will send another letter\u2026 that has not been done in this case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have now seen is the Chief of Staff, taking bills to London for the President to sign\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
